Making a photo-realistic Earth in Cinema 4D

The Bright Blue Marble

In this tutorial we will be going over the Atmosphere by using photo-textures as reference to guide a Fresnel - Gradient.
We will also use NASA textures for the globe and we will use the Corona Layered Material to create a separation between the land and the water.
We will also go in-depth of the Corona Volume Material as we will use it to create our water and clouds.

Finally, we will go over camera-settings and we'll finish it off by compositing in After Effects.
